a certain amount of time AND remains on the throne (which is in no way a certainty after recent abdications in Spain and
Netherlands) then they will pass another record; is just over the top. It's like on a pop chart saying if so and so has three more number ones they will hold the record for the most number ones or to take the example you gave, if the sun burns for another 50 billion years it will be the longest lived star in the galaxy.

Although Louis XIV's reign started in 1643, when he was age 5, his personal reign did not begin until 1651, when he was aged 13 years, the so called 'Regency Years." Since QE2 has had single control throughout her entire reign, should that not be at least noted in this article? Taking those facts

I realize this will not be popular but what is the reason to have the days of reign added to a current
Monarch? 1)- Every article using this has to be updated every 24 hours or be outdated. 2)- It is trivial, unimportant, and "only" becomes necessary when two Monarchs, that are deceased, share the

The above 27 May 2024 date, which still comes up in some Google searches, is wrong by a day, due to ignoring leap years. It mistakenly assumes that
Elizabeth has to reign 72 years and 111 days to beat Louis' 72 years and 110 days(26407 days), but this ignores the fact that 2000 was a leap year and

Okay so I have been trying to just include long reigning monarchs within the United
Kingdom's history, and Europe as a whole. The 2nd longest ruling of x wouldn't be as noteworthy as the longest ruling of x for example. This being said I don't know where Eleanor would fall into, would she be
